About Us

When a tiny, light-filled space on Chestnut Street in the heart of San Francisco’s Marina neighborhood—just a quick walk to the harbor—became available in 2023, we knew our dream of an oyster bar had to finally happen. 

Named after Joe’s dad, a retired sea captain who was once based out of Oakland, Popi’s was inspired by two of our favorite oyster bars in SF: tiny but mighty Anchor in the Castro as well as the iconic Swan’s.

We are all in favor of seasonality, sustainability, and personality. The kitchen is open. Our dining room is cozy. Grab a stool at the counter, order a dozen on the half shell and say hi.
